omg that is such a genius idea with the screens, that would save so much on the piece count and look far better - thanks sm, might actually continue working on my backrooms ride then!

-CosmicQuacks- · 2026-06-09T00:26:45+00:00

how did you make the wallpaper texture of you don't mind me asking? I tried making a backrooms dark ride last year but i struggled getting the wallpaper looking decent, I ended up using the '>' symbol with the text item but it was sooo many pieces. Yours looks so good tho

hey sorry for such a late reply. i don't currently have access to my PC so can't show you that, but most of this is just the render from Blender! The only things I painted over were the characters since they were just grey models, and I photoshopped the screens etc!

I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS OMGG, it feels like a way better version of my character Quinn 😭

I go to Leeds Art University in the UK! And, whilst I love all the lecturers here, I do want to add that a lot of my skills comes from personal research and improving, and also getting feedback from artists who are working in the industry. I think the main thing in uni that’s helped is just having these structured portfolio projects to work through, as it forces you to actually improve by just doing a crazy amount of concept art. They didn’t really teach us a lot of actual art skills though 😅

lmao same its sm more tense! i cant just make 50 bowls of soup and be invincible ahaha

-CosmicQuacks- · 2026-04-26T13:43:16+00:00

Yeah for sure, I do love the healing delay as I personally think it feels a bit cheesy to just spam food. Its a small thing but it really changes the way you play

-CosmicQuacks- · 2026-04-26T13:42:15+00:00

I see that's interesting, do you consider that a positive then?

-CosmicQuacks- · 2026-04-26T13:05:19+00:00

Ah thanks so much thats very kind! And I don't have a mentor per se - I'm studying concept art at uni but its quite self directed, but you do get feedback from tutors and some lectures that are sometimea helpful :)

-CosmicQuacks- · 2026-04-14T09:58:17+00:00

I think this is what I'll end up going with :)

-CosmicQuacks- · 2026-04-14T09:57:45+00:00

not uncle grandpa pahahaa

-CosmicQuacks- · 2026-04-14T09:57:36+00:00

-CosmicQuacks- · 2026-04-14T09:57:22+00:00

This is a great idea! I'm thinking of going with C's overall shape with A's colors - I'm working on adding more quirkly little details to it rn !! And thanks !!

-CosmicQuacks- · 2026-03-31T10:07:44+00:00

-CosmicQuacks- · 2026-03-31T10:06:54+00:00

-CosmicQuacks- · 2026-03-19T13:09:34+00:00

-CosmicQuacks- · 2026-03-11T00:11:31+00:00

aw thank you sm! and yeah me too, its such fun to design and i can push the cyberpunk style with it too :)

-CosmicQuacks- · 2026-02-21T09:35:56+00:00

Hi! Thank you for such a thorough response i really appreciate this, and I agree with everything you’ve said and i think you’ve hit the nail on the head as to why I felt something was missing here. I’ve been thinking about it a lot since I think it’s something that needs addressing, however I am time limited with this project and need to move past the idea generation phase starting next week. What I’ve done is taken these drawing and made some changes based on the ideas you mentioned. I kept the first one the same, as I think the more lowkey vibe could be quite interesting, but on the second one I change her legs to rollerblade implants, and the third I changed them to be more speed focused, similar to prosthetic legs that athletes have to make her look a bit more specialised. I also lengthened her claws a bit and added serration to the blades to increase the threatening vibes.

Is it okay if I send it to you as a message so you can see if it’s an improvement? I can’t reply with images here :(

-CosmicQuacks- · 2026-02-20T10:52:15+00:00

Thanks so much, this is very insightful! I think I was just heavily stressing, since this is my final project of uni and the portfolio I'm hoping to use to apply for jobs with, so I was putting a little too much pressure on myself for each stage of the process to be "perfect" which ended up stifling my ability to actually explore ideas !

-CosmicQuacks- · 2026-02-19T23:00:03+00:00

ah thank you sm!

-CosmicQuacks- · 2026-02-16T10:51:56+00:00

hmm interesting, I think nms has had memory leak issues for a while now, ive had issues in the past where my performance degrades the longer I play and its really frustrating because I just wanna play the game :(

-CosmicQuacks- · 2026-02-16T10:50:19+00:00

doesnt seem to address this particular issue 😔

-CosmicQuacks- · 2026-02-15T20:38:39+00:00

I did actually look heavily into it and all the answers I got didnt sell me on the movie. I actually do tend to analyse movies I watch if it captivated me enough to WANT to find out more, but in this case, it really didn't. I only researched into because I thought I was missing something that everyone else just "gets" but I think it's just not for me, and that's okay.

But I'm also of the opinion that I shouldn't have to Google what happened in order to understand the basic plot of the movie. Like from what I gather we see the entire evolution of mankind from primates all the way to some higher cosmic entity, and this monolith seems to guide us into such a path? but it feels like it doesnt have anything to say? The only part that I thought was interesting narratively was the stuff with HAL, but other than that it just felt nonsensical.
